That thread was getting very long and out of date, so here is a continuation starting with posts from 2014.

Also, please keep this thread for sharing timelines ONLY. If you have a specific question regarding any procedure, forms, medical, interview, etc. please create a NEW thread with your specific question, as it relates to your own case. Those kinds of questions get lost in timeline threads, and takes it way off topic.
